Chapter 49 Gouzi Historiography
"Just think about it. In the Liaodong mountains and forests, where there are wild beasts everywhere and the world is covered with ice and snow, how can Nurhaci, a ten-year-old child, support himself? He also brought along Shuerhaci, an eight-year-old child."

At the beginning of the Chenshi period on February 1st, which was seven o'clock in the morning, Li Hao gathered the 34 surrendered Han people and gave a mobilization speech.

At this moment, General Li was sitting behind a wooden table, and the surrendered Han people were squatting on the ground in front of the wooden table. Two teams of fierce generals and soldiers surrounded them in a circle, and the remaining two teams were on guard around the ancient city.

Wu Sangui, who was also following the order, shouted, "Godfather, I know this. I ran away to be a servant for Marshal Li Chengliang, and later became a servant, so that I could support him and Shuerhaci."

General Li pointed at Xiao Wu and said with a smile: "This is hearsay. He was just a teenager back then. He had no strength and no martial arts. Why did Li Chengliang want him? Liangzi and I are brothers for life. Today, I will tell you the ins and outs of this matter."

After saying that, he didn't explain what the trick was right away. Instead, he picked up the wine bag on the wooden table, pulled out the cork and took a sip of rice wine to whet the appetite of this group of people.

As expected, both the surrendered Han people and the twelve fierce generals and soldiers were very interested in this topic.

After all, choreographing big shots is an entertainment activity that even ordinary people can participate in, and it costs almost nothing.

The big shots only lost their reputation and privacy, but the common people greatly satisfied their desire to pry into other people's private lives and gained the pleasure of spreading secrets.

"I guess it's because I'm smart and know a little bit about military tactics that Marshal Li Chengliang wanted me."

Wu Sangui continued to make his presence felt in front of his godfather.

Li Hao raised his right index finger and shook it, indicating that something was wrong.

One of the surrendered Han people was brave enough to stand up, hunched over, and said with an apologetic smile: "I think it is because I can find ginseng, pick pine nuts, and get deer antlers that Marshal Li kept me as a servant."

Smiling, he stretched out his hand and pressed the man to squat, then General Li refuted the logical flaw in this statement: "Since it is ginseng and pine nuts, why not go to the pharmacy to buy them? Besides, what use is my ability to dig ginseng if I stay in Liaoyang? Ginseng is in Changbai Mountain, not in the general's mansion."

The surrendered Han people and the two teams of brave generals and soldiers began to whisper to each other. General Li claimed to be Li Chengliang's brother, so he should know some inside information that ordinary people don't know.

Seeing that the fire was almost ready, Li Hao slapped the table and began to explain in detail:

"What Xiao Wu said before was half right. Liangzi wanted Nurhaci just for him. To be more precise, he wanted my asshole. The ten-year-old Nurhaci had nothing but a tender asshole. Not only did I serve as a book boy for Li Chengliang, I also served as a military disciplinary officer in the military camp, that is, a rabbit master. As far as I know, during this period of time, I saved up eight hundred taels of silver with my asshole, and used my asshole to get connections, so that I could buy the thirteen sets of armor that I started with."

In the context of the Ming and Qing dynasties, "Tu'erye" means a male prostitute. This word also has a variant called "qidi". The more common insult word "rabbit boy" is an extension of "Tu'erye".

Later, the word "rabbit" was passed down, and many people used it to insult little boys in daily contexts. It is actually a very vulgar word, just like "mazi" which means toilet.

After these words were spoken, most people were skeptical, but Wu Sangui was dumbfounded, as if he had heard some great secret.

Li Hao continued to strike while the iron was hot, "Then why did Shuerhaci hook up with Liangzi again and prepare to rebel against his brother Nurhaci? It was because Liangzi also slept with Shuerhaci.

As the saying goes, a husband's love lasts a hundred days. Shuerhaci couldn't bear to lose face with his benefactor Liangzi, so he decided to raise an army to rebel against his brother Nurhaci. Unexpectedly, the old slave felt that the past was too unbearable to look back on. Since he had already landed, the past grudges should be settled, so he imprisoned his brother. "

After completing this statement, Li Hao paused for a while, allowing them to carefully consider whether this statement made sense.

The young Xiao Wu had a painful look on his face. Li Chengliang had originally held a very high position in his heart, but after hearing what his godfather said, it seemed as if something was broken.

The others also exchanged views with each other. General Li could see that some people had already believed it.

But it doesn’t matter whether they believe it or not. What matters is to break the sense of alienation that the old slaves have in their hearts and make these people despise the Tartar Khan for having done such dirty things.

"General, the rations and horses have been counted. There are 24 inferior horses in this village, and nearly 200 dan of fine grain. There are not enough sacks in the village, only about ten, and we have more than 40 sacks of spare sacks brought from Ningyuan. What should we do with the rest of the food that we can't take away?"

The capable Zhu Yingtai reported the results of his inventory to General Li. As the general's initial servant, he was in charge of the captured supplies and horses along the way.

"Are the Tartars so poor that they don't even have sacks?"

Li Hao was very surprised. The existing spare sacks could only hold more than 50 stones of grain, and about 150 stones of grain were wasted.

There were enough horses, so he was ready to take away the thirty-four Han people who surrendered. "It should be that the old slave went out to fight and took away the sacks in the village. In addition to the twenty-five acres of land planted with grain and beans, the Tartars often have five acres of land planted with cotton and ramie. Although cotton is a bit tight, ramie is not so tight yet."

Nagisa explained the reason to his commander.

"Oh, what a waste of food! Just burn it if you can't take it away, and don't leave a single grain for the Tartars." Li Hao sighed and called back Wang Meng, the bondservant who had surrendered before.

"Huang Long, Zhang Cunli and you will manage these Liao people in the banner. Divide the horses here with ours and whip everyone to get on the horse. If anyone dawdles and wastes time, call me and I will give them a knife."

Wang Meng returned on the 26th. He had performed well in the previous three days and devoted himself to taking care of Zhang Cunli, the servant of his ancestors who had injured his thigh. Therefore, Li Hao thought that he could do some work.

As for the additional Huang Long and Zhang Cunli, they were here to supervise Wang Meng.

Huang Long is a southerner and may not understand some of the Liao dialect, so Li Hao added Zhang Cunli, a local.

Use checks and balances from multiple parties to prevent chaos.

After deciding on the departure time, the entire team began to move in a hurry. It took more than half an hour to prepare food and reliable water for the day, and another quarter of an hour to arrange the idle firewood. Finally, they set off at the beginning of the Si hour, which was nine o'clock.

“The strong smell of fireworks is the most soothing to the heart!”

General Li expressed his feelings outside the ancient city which was already on fire.

……

At noon on February 4th, in Jinzhou City, inside the hall of the general's mansion.

"What are Jirgalang and Amin doing? I sent out troops so early, how could Li Hao still sneak into my house? Are the twenty or thirty Niulu they have now just here to eat? If they can't defeat them, can't they just shoot arrows and drive them away?"

Looking at the messenger kneeling in the main hall, Huang Taiji was furious.

Originally, the four great beiles took turns to be in charge of state affairs for one month. Huang Taiji was on duty in the first month, and the late great beile Daishan should have been on duty in the second month. However, the old Khan did not fill the number of the four great beiles, and the second beile who was supposed to take over was still in Shenyang and could not make it in time.

The Eighth Prince had no intention of being on duty for another month. It was obvious that the Ming general Li Hao would continue to wreak havoc in Liaodong and southern Liaoning for a long time. Whoever was on duty in February would be held responsible for failing to supervise the war.

But the old Khan had clearly designated his general, and the Fourth Prince had no choice but to go ahead. Now, at the beginning of February, news came that the Ming general Li Hao had burned down three village forts in a row at the Bordered White Banner’s headquarters.

This was the battle damage summarized on the evening of the 1st three days ago. Two more days had passed, and Huang Taiji couldn't believe how many evils that Ming general had done!
Nurhaci, who was sitting on the main seat, said nothing. He was the one in charge of the Bordered White Banner now, and the Ming general Li Hao's actions seemed to be a slap in his face.

Dudu, the grandson of the old slave who temporarily led the Zhenghong Banner, took the opportunity to stand up and said, "Khan Mafa, the Bordered White Banner was originally under my jurisdiction. I am very familiar with the terrain and the people there. Why don't I rush over and command the people to besiege the Ming general Li Hao?"

He didn't dare to take any job in the Zhenghong Banner. Now Shuotuo would find trouble with him every now and then. If he returned to Shengjing, Daishan's third son and his family would also cause trouble for him. His life would be very difficult.

Huang Taiji also strongly agreed with this proposal, so he turned around and looked at the old Khan, who nodded slightly to show his agreement.

"Then Dudu will lead the five Niulu of the Bordered White Banner to go back and supervise the battle. Jirgalang is not doing a good job, so his right to supervise the battle will be suspended. The troops he leads will also be temporarily commanded by Dudu."

The Fourth Beile gave the order.

PS: There are real history and unofficial history in the history circle, but there is no history of goose. Recently, Da Pine learned about the history of goose from a certain website. Its main content is that various historical figures sold goose to save capital. Da Pine suddenly felt it was reasonable, so he decided to expand this history of goose.

Although this history is indeed bullshit, its internal logic is coherent and it can be self-consistent. It looks at history from another interesting perspective, so I would like to share it with all the book lovers.
